No idea tbh. I don’t think it will.

According to Caudabe it’s scratch resistant and a few YouTube videos seem to indicate it’s hard to scratch but I certainly won’t be trying 😂
 
I'm not sure if there are any Moment and Peak Design fans here, but I'm assuming there is no news about a potential version 2 of their cases with a camera button?

If not, what is the consensus best iPhone 16/Pro Max case with a camera button at the moment?

The first post in this thread has a list of available (and planned) cases with camera control (CC) buttons.

There is no consensus because each person has different needs/priorities. Here are a few thoughts:

If you can live with silicone as a case material, the Apple Silicone has arguably the best CC button and overall fit.

If you don’t mind clear cases, the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T has a very good CC button, good fit, and is a great value if purchased from Spigen’s eBay store.

The Otterbox Lumen, which is also a clear case, has an equally good CC button, much better buttons all around, but is more of a fingerprint magnet and more expensive than the Spigen UHT.

The Spigen Tough Armor T AI is arguably the best heavy duty case with a CC button.

Supcase, I-Blason, and other off brands on Amazon use copper rods for conductivity in their CC buttons. These buttons don’t work as well as the buttons that use printed circuit boards (Apple, Spigen, Otterbox). DBrand is also using copper rods, which leads me to believe their button is likely to be inferior, but I haven’t heard any first hand reports yet.

That’s my $.02.

This is such a perfect rundown that I think you should add it to the WikiPost!

Very nice and snug fit. Device in hand feel slim. CC button on this Symmetry is better then Apple Silicone case but the back of the case is scratched.

No sticker or anything on it for protection. Didn’t expect this from Otterbox.
